\paragraph{Description}\label{description}

\subparagraph{Using the \texttt{'nan='}, \texttt{'inf='},
\texttt{'pureZero='} and \texttt{'printedZero='}
options}\label{using-the-nan-inf-purezero-and-printedzero-options}

When specifying the LaTeX string for these options, bear in mind that
the table entries are printed in the math model. This means that
whenever you wish to print a normal text, you need to use an appropriate
text formatting command allowed within a math mode. Most frequently, it
would be \texttt{'\textbackslash{}textnormal\{...\}'}.

\subparagraph{Using the \texttt{'plotFunc='}
option}\label{using-the-plotfunc-option}

When you set the option to \texttt{'plotpred'}, the input data
\texttt{X} (second input argument) must be a multicolumn tseries object
where the first column is the time series observations, and the second
and further columns are its Kalman filter predictions as returned by the
\texttt{filter} function.

\subparagraph{Conditional formatting}\label{conditional-formatting}

The conditional format struct (or an array of structs) specified through
the \texttt{'condFormat='} option must have two fields, \texttt{.test}
and \texttt{.format}.

The \texttt{.test} field is a text string with a Matlab expression. The
expression must evaluate to a scalar true or false, and can refer to the
following attributes associated with each entry in the data part of the
table:

\begin{itemize}
\itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt
\item
  \texttt{value} - the numerical value of the entry,
\item
  \texttt{date} - the date under which the entry appears,
\item
  \texttt{year} - the year under which the entry appears,
\item
  \texttt{period} - the period within the year (e.g.~month or quarter)
  under which the entry appears,
\item
  \texttt{freq} - the frequency of the date under which the entry
  appears,
\item
  \texttt{text} - the text label on the left,
\item
  \texttt{mark} - the text mark on the left used to describe the
  individual rows reported for multivariate series,
\item
  \texttt{row} - the row number within a multivariate series.
\item
  \texttt{rowvalues} - a row vector of all values on the current row.
\end{itemize}

If the table is based on user-defined structure of columns (option
\texttt{'colstruct='} in \href{report/table}{\texttt{table}}), the
following additional attributes are available

\begin{itemize}
\itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt
\item
  \texttt{colname} - descriptor of the column (text in the headline).
\end{itemize}

You can combine a number of attribues within one test, using the logical
operators, e.g.

\begin{verbatim}
'value > 0 && year > 2010'
\end{verbatim}

The \texttt{.format} fields of the conditional format structure consist
of LaTeX commands that will be use to typeset the corresponding entry.
The reference to the entry itself is through a question mark. The
entries are typeset in math mode; this for instance meanse that for bold
or italic typface, you must use the
\texttt{\textbackslash{}mathbf\{...\}} and
\texttt{\textbackslash{}mathit\{...\}} commands.

In addition to standard LaTeX commands, you can use the following
IRIS-specific commands in the format strings:

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{\textbackslash{}sprintf\{FFFF\}} - to modify the way each
  numeric entry that passes the test is printed by the \texttt{sprintf}
  function; \texttt{FFFF} is one of the standard sprintf formattting
  strings.
\item
  \texttt{\textbackslash{}hide\{?\}} - to hide the actual entry when it
  is supposed to be replaced with something else.
\end{itemize}

You can combine multiple tests and their correponding formats in one
structure; they will be all applied to each entry in the specified
order.

\subparagraph{LHS-RHS plots}\label{lhs-rhs-plots}

The LHS-RHS report graphs are still an experimental feature.

When the option \texttt{'yAxis='} is used to plot on both the LHS and
the RHS y-axis, the plot functions are restricted to \texttt{@plot},
\texttt{@bar}, \texttt{@area} and \texttt{@stem}. Also, because of a bug
in Matlab, always control the color of the lines, bars and areas in all
LHS-RHS graphs: use either the option \texttt{'plotOptions='} in this
command, or \texttt{'style='} in the respective
\href{report/graph}{\texttt{graph}} command.

\paragraph{Example of a conditional format
structure}\label{example-of-a-conditional-format-structure}

\begin{verbatim}
cf = struct();
cf(1).test = 'value < 0';
cf(1).format = '\mathit{?}';
cf(2).test = 'date < qq(2010,1)';
cf(2).format = '\color{blue}';
\end{verbatim}
